SPARKCHICK, aka Dena, has had these monthly challenges going for as long as I can remember! I'd like to keep them going for at least one more month. Below are Dena's own descriptions of the challenge...

The plan is simple. Each day we post: 1. Number of cals: 2. Number of minutes of exercise: 3. Number of glasses of water: 4. Motivation: (the same one everyday) 5. Delight: (What made you smile or brought you joy today?)

On Day 1, state what your motivation is to lose weight. Repeat this same motivation for the next 30 days. Your motivation has to be something that will inspire you to lose weight.

This is an example: cals: 1400 water: 8 exercise: 30 min motivation: St. Paddy's Day celebration delight: buying a new dress for the event

FRIDAY is SUCCESS DAY. Post any successes you've have during the week. Who will join me in this challenge? Hugs, Dena
